My boyfriend Jordan's dog, Owen, is a 7-year-old Maltese. He has one of those tongues that's always sticking out of his mouth. Everyone's always said that Owen has the biggest heart, and that they could see it in his bond with Jordan.

An x-ray will confirm it... Owen's heart is abnormally large, and this, unfortunately, is horrible news. Talk about poetic injustice.

Owen is both a service dog and an emotional support pet, he's been across the country with Jordan, supporting him through his battle with and triumph over addiction.

Jordan, Owen and I run a nonprofit, called No Act of Kindness, which puts addicts through rehab for free. We made a routine vet stop on the way to work one day, for Owen's annual checkup, and that's when we first heard any mention of heart disease. Just a few days later, Dr. Steve Cole at Access Animal Hospital confirmed it Owen was diagnosed with Stage C Congestive Heart Failure.

We were in shock... rarely does a 7 year old dog fall victim to a terminal illness like CHF. The worst news, however, was that Owen's condition was incurable , and that while the medication would help his heart, it would take a toll on his kidneys, and eventually he would pass away. the vet gave it to us straight. Owen had only 6 months left to live, and there was nothing else we could do about it.

So we did what we always do, and tried to make the impossible...possible. After rushing Owen to the e.r 4 times in one month when he was struggling to breathe, we decided to build a mini ICU inside our small apartment. We scraped together fifteen hundred dollars and purchased an oxygen compressor for emergencies. We limited Owen's walks to two minutes at a time to avoid any over-exertion and we tried our hardest to focus on the time we had left with him, fighting tooth and nail to defy the odds and the vets prognosis that he would be gone by winter.

Owen, and dozens of other small breed dogs meet an early fate at the hands of mitral valve degeneration/regurgitation, a condition in which one of the heart valves remains open, causing blood and fluid to flow backwards, into his lungs. While this condition can be treated in humans, there are no veterinarians in the United States who perform the surgery on our pets.

It wasn't until mid July, that we first heard of Dr. Masami Uechi and the miracle procedures he was performing in Yokohama, Japan. So we did our research, and it was true:Dr. Uechi and his team of 11 perform Mitral Valve Repair surgery on dogs just like Owen. He boasts a 97% success rate, and performs 10 of these surgeries a week, on dogs that weren't given more than 6 months to live by their state-side veterinarian. Dr. Uechi is our only hope, and if Japan is where we have to be, we will do anything and everything to get there.

Dr. Uechi deemed Owen the perfect candidate for the surgery, he can fix Owen's condition entirely. This is what he deserves: the opportunity to live a full life beside the family who adores him so dearly.

The financial logistics of this endeavor are formidable at the very least. We would have to stay in Yokohama for three weeks while Owen recovers from the procedure and The process alone, of getting Owen into Japan is extremely tedious,

We were somehow able to save enough money to book cheap flights, pay for all of Owen's paperwork, and rent a bedroom near the hospital for 3 weeks: from October 5th to the 27th.

The surgery itself will cost anywhere from $19,154.74 to $19,815.08. This is the cost breakdown given to us by Uechi's team, with the currency conversion below.

This is a lot of money. It has not been easy to keep consistent income during the Coronavirus pandemic. But we put ourselves at your mercy. And in exchange for your assistance, we offer our services, or anything we could do to make it up to you, in return.

We are offering every second of our available time in exchange for help. I am a Google certified web designer, Internet marketing specialist, app developer, graphic designer, and video editor. I make logos and specialize in branding. Jordan and I Both print and design personalized t shirts, and we are both former tutors. Jordan specializes in content management...he's a writer and editor, a musician, a dog whisperer etc. We are infinitely grateful and will make it up to you, even if all you want is a thank you card, it will be the BEST thank you card that you have ever received :)

And for anyone out there who has a pet struggling with CHF, don't listen to any vet who tells you there is nothing you can do. For more information, visit 'MightyHeartsProject.org'

All my love and gratitude,

Kindness is defined as the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate. Affection, gentleness, warmth, concern, and care are words that are associated with kindness. While kindness has a connotation of meaning someone is naive or weak, that is not the case. Being kind often requires courage and strength. Kindness is an interpersonal skill.

You've heard about survival of the fittest and Darwin. Survival of the fittest is usually associated with selfishness, meaning that to survive (a basic instinct) means to look out for yourself. But Darwin, who studied human evolution, actually didn't see mankind as being biologically competitive and self-interested. Darwin believed that we are a profoundly social and caring species. He argued that sympathy and caring for others is instinctual (DiSalvo, Scientific American, 2017)

Current research supports this idea. Science has now shown that devoting resources to others, rather than having more and more for yourself, brings about lasting well-being. Kindness has been found by researchers to be the most important predictor of satisfaction and stability in a marriage. Many colleges, including Harvard, are now emphasizing kindness on applications for admission.

There are different ways to practice kindness. One way to be kind is to open your eyes and be active when you see people in need. Do you notice when people could use a helping hand? A sense of community is created when people are kind to those who need help.

Opening your eyes means noticing when others are suffering. A kind word, a smile, opening a door, or helping carry a heavy load can all be acts of kindness. Celebrating someone you love, giving honest compliments, sending an email thanking someone, telling someone how s/he is special to you, helping an elderly neighbor with yard work or food, taking a photo of someone and sending it to the person, sharing homemade food, refusing to gossip, and donating old clothing and things you don't need are all ideas about how to practice kindness.

Kindness is a willingness to full-heartedly celebrate someone else's successes. Gottman's work shows that your response to someone's successes may determine more about your relationship than how you respond when times are difficult. Do you minimize the success, not pay attention to it, or bring up all the problems with the success? Kindness is to be openly happy for the other person.

Kindness is also about telling the truth in a gentle way when doing so is helpful to the other person. Receiving accurate feedback in a loving and caring way is an important part of a trusted relationship. The courage to give and receive truthful feedback is a key component of growth and flexible thinking.

Kindness includes being kind to yourself. Do you treat yourself kindly? Do you speak gently and kindly to yourself and take good care of yourself?

There are many ways to be kind and many opportunities to practice. Perhaps kindness is a value that could add more satisfaction to and strengthen your relationships.

When I moved to Texas, I was really sad about leaving my friends and my school to start a new life. In the plane ride to Texas, I was telling my mom how hard it is going to be to settle in a new place again. However, little did I know that a high school girl in the plane was listening to everything I was saying. After I got off the plane, she gave me her number on a post-it note, telling me to call or text if I ever needed a friend. Just that small action assured me that I was going to be fine. I still have the post-it note with me to this day. Be kind, trust me it changes people's lives:)

It costs nothing, but means everything. Your act of kindness can greatly change the world around you! :)

By John Keats (Be kind to yourself, do not succumb to melancholy fits)
No, no, go not to Lethe, neither twist
Wolf's-bane, tight-rooted, for its poisonous wine;
Nor suffer thy pale forehead to be kiss'd
By nightshade, ruby grape of Proserpine;
Make not your rosary of yew-berries,
Nor let the beetle, nor the death-moth be
Your mournful Psyche, nor the downy owl
A partner in your sorrow's mysteries;
For shade to shade will come too drowsily,
And drown the wakeful anguish of the soul.

But when the melancholy fit shall fall
Sudden from heaven like a weeping cloud,
That fosters the droop-headed flowers all,
And hides the green hill in an April shroud;
Then glut thy sorrow on a morning rose,
Or on the rainbow of the salt sand-wave,
Or on the wealth of globed peonies;
Or if thy mistress some rich anger shows,
Emprison her soft hand, and let her rave,
And feed deep, deep upon her peerless eyes.

She dwells with Beauty—Beauty that must die;
And Joy, whose hand is ever at his lips
Bidding adieu; and aching Pleasure nigh,
Turning to poison while the bee-mouth sips:
Ay, in the very temple of Delight
Veil'd Melancholy has her sovran shrine,
Though seen of none save him whose strenuous tongue
Can burst Joy's grape against his palate fine;
His soul shalt taste the sadness of her might,
And be among her cloudy trophies hung.
